My wife broke her ankle when she fell going down a couple of outdoor deck steps with an armload of stuff. Compound fracture, it was bleeding like a stuck pig.
The ER visit was much better than I'm used to. Straight to a treatment bay, x-rays right there with a portable machine and reduction/splint done within a couple hours. She had surgery the next morning.
Since then has been interesting since I work full time and she usually takes care of the house/cooking/etc. I can cook and clean and such, but it's not usually daily thing for me. We had her sister's family over for a few days and that was an adventure. Cooking several meals a day for a crew of about 12 along with keeping the house straightened up etc. Now I'm back to work and trying to work from home so that I can be around to help her.
She cannot put any weight on it right now so everything is an ordeal. I haven't figured out yet how I'm going to get her to the car for her follow-up appointment. It took four of us to get her into the house and that was before we got 10" of snow.
